I filed January 27th and it was received by the irs on the 28th. My refund status changed to prossessing and for 5 days now my status has said "We have received your tax return and it is being processed." How long can it stay in this stage? At this point it has almost been a month since I sent in my return in the first place.
I'm experiencing the same message. I filed 1/30 and it was accepted 1/31
I too am having the same issue. I filed my taxes on January 29th and TurboTax shows me that my taxes have been accepted and that the ETA of my refund was Feb. 19th yet the IRS site shows as processing which is quite different than a friend of mines status that filed this past weekend with HR Block, so i am starting to get a little worried because it has never taken this long for a refund.
I called to check on my taxes and they said if you filed for earned income credit they would start releasing them 2/27/20.
According to the IRS website, if you claim the earned income credit, those refunds will be released beginning the first week of March 2020.
@Trisha2 if you go through to site community answers there are people that have gotten theirs already but we are unsure if they used turbo tax we just know that they claimed EITC.
I believe TURBO TAX is the reason it has slowed down because other places offer the ability to speed up a refund and TURBO TAX does not. Just keep in mind the companies that offer that charge an arm and a leg for it and TURBO TAX is free unless you upgrade. Personally I would rather be slow than have someone take a chunk of my tax return for themselves.
